Snowdon (Welsh: Yr Wyddfa) is the highest mountain in Wales, at an altitude of 1,085 metres (3,560 ft) above sea level, and the highest point in the British Isles outside Scotland. It is located in Snowdonia National Park (Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri) in Gwynedd, and has been described as "the busiest mountain in Britain". It is designated as a national nature reserve for its rare flora and fauna.
Ascent of Snowdon via Watkin path with descent via the miner's track to pen-y-pass. Walk leader for a novice group from the UEA Fell & Mountain Soc, novice group of 6, including mountain novices and international students new to UK walking. An unseasonably fantastic day of weather gave me my first ever view from the summit of Snowden. Some need to support less confident walkers on steep sections
